My research interests are in the general areas of networking, mobile systems (e.g., VR/XR), and cybersecurity. I attempt to explore the research topics with approaches rooted in applied AI, sensing, and computing. My research has been funded by NSF, DoT, and NIH. I am a recipient of the NSF CRII Award (2016), NSF CAREER Award (2020), and N2Women Rising Star in Networking and Communications (2023).
Recent Research Areas:
- Human factors in mobile systems (VR/XR) and networks: [Mobicom'24],[Sensys'23],[Ubicomp'22],[TMC'20]
- User-centered security, user authentication: [CCS'24-1], [Sensys'24], [NDSS'23],[ACSAC'23],[Ubicomp'21],[ASIACCS'18]
- IoT/Device security, side channels: [CCS'24-2], [Mobisys'24],[NDSS'24],[CCS'21][ACSAC'21],[CCS'20]
- I am also interested in exploring cross-disciplinary research, particularly on travel safety of vulnerable road users: [Ubicomp'22][Ubicomp'21]
Openings:
We are looking for self-motivated Ph.D. students who are committed to research.
